I think if I try for a third pumpkin again, I will move to a different location. I also think a normal year that didn’t get so much rain, this location would have worked.
I was thinking more of a 288” sewing tape measure.

I just measured the 2501 Bernstrom and still not growing as fast as I hoped. 76” circumference now and 19.7 pounds per day for the past 2 days. I normally measure every 5 days, but was measuring the 1005 Clementz for DAP 20 so thought I would check the 2501.
@@theturnerranchwi not bad! I check in at 75” DAP 29 today. Plant is still trying to push growth. Only pollinated at 11 or so feet. Growing about 13lbs a day. I am not sure how far this pumpkin will go. Hoping for 700+ but idk. Plant seems ok
@@Giantpumpkinswitheric Last year my pumpkins were about 12 feet out and both made it over 1900 lbs. The one averaged about 43 pounds per day from 30 DAP to 50 DAP. Hopefully I can get mine to do that again this year!
@@theturnerranchwi awesome! I am sure yours will pick up. I have been feeding some heavy potassium nightly. I’ll keep up with that. What have you been feeding. I use plant marvel from wow 15-5-30 k mag
@@Giantpumpkinswitheric For potassium, I have always given Down to Earth Langbeinite (0-0-22). However, last year I ran into a micronutrient deficiency so added in Masterblend 4-18-38. Also, once a week or so, I give them WOW 5-2 Wonder Blend and Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus.
Nice video!
Thanks!
I'm so happy to have won your seeds! I'll be growing them next year. I'll post videos. Thank you again!
Always fun when somebody wins that is really excited about it!
Looking good!! 🎉🎉
Thanks! Just hope I can keep them going. Weather, animals, insects and disease are constantly trying to end your season.
Good luck on your 2501 & 1005, sorry your new patch didn’t work out, maybe going to find a drier area for next year?

It’s called a peewee tape
